Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Lu Xiao is a member of the imperial family; he is Lu Beimo's cousin, and his grandfather is the current emperor's uncle.

Lu Xiao could have stayed in the capital and become a carefree Marquis, but he and Lu Beimo were childhood friends and brothers who had gone through thick and thin together.

Back then, when Lu Beimo was forced into the Northern Frontier, Lu Xiao, fearing that his cousin and friend would be trapped there and unable to return, resolutely led three thousand men straight into the Northern Frontier to reunite with Lu Beimo.

Later, Lu Beimo gradually recovered the northern frontier, and Lu Xiao stayed in the northern frontier with Lu Beimo over the years.

It can be said that Lu Xiao is the oldest and closest general to Lu Beimo.

Chu Yueli was not familiar with the Northern Cavalry, and she did not know that the Iron Cavalry General in the Northern Cavalry was actually Lu Xiao.

"Could it be that you and General Lu... have some kind of grudge?" Miao Yucui could tell from Chu Yueli's expression that she was in a difficult situation.

Chu Yueli had not yet spoken.

Lu Yunfei then said, "Back then, when my fourth brother was trapped in the northern frontier, he faced death nine times out of ten. Lu Xiao stayed by his side the whole time, sharing life and death with him. It can be said that every time my fourth brother almost died in battle, Lu Xiao witnessed it with his own eyes. Lu Xiao... hates... my fourth sister-in-law even more than I do."

After saying this, Lu Yunfei lowered his head and didn't say anything more.

The way people looked at him was somewhat strange.

So the Ninth Prince really...hates their Ali.

However, as everyone has witnessed along the way, the Ninth Prince has clearly been very good to Chu Yueli.

His attitude might not have been particularly enthusiastic, but anyone could see that he valued Chu Yueli more than his own life.

If it were necessary to sacrifice his life for Chu Yueli, he would probably do so without hesitation.

Is this... also considered hating Chu Yueli?

"Yunfei is just young and doesn't know any better. He doesn't really hate me. He just occasionally throws a childish tantrum," Chu Yueli explained for him.

However, Lu Xiao is not Lu Yunfei.

Lu Yunfei does have a childlike nature, but he has an extremely soft heart and is a very kind person.

But Lu Xiao is different. Lu Xiao is a ruthless general. Regardless of whether he is kind or not, he is certainly not a soft-hearted person.

He must truly hate Chu Yueli; it's not just a matter of throwing a tantrum.

“I’ll go with you; I’ll try to persuade him,” Lu Yunfei suddenly said.

"I don't have much time. I have to set off for the north first thing tomorrow morning." The terrain of Sukru is very complicated, with many wilderness areas as well as depressions and swamps, making it very dangerous to travel at night.

Therefore, Chu Yue cannot leave tonight under any circumstances; the earliest she can depart is tomorrow morning.

She only has tonight left.

"If I cannot persuade him, I hope you will stay and continue..."

"Don't even think about it!" Lu Yunfei glared at her, displeased. "We made a promise that before you see the Fourth Prince, no matter where you go, you absolutely cannot leave me behind!"

As Lu Yunfei thought about it, he still felt uneasy, so he subconsciously walked to Chu Yueli's side.

Even if I got close to her, I couldn't do anything to her, let alone tie her up with a rope, but being closer seemed to offer some protection.

That wicked woman can't just disappear in an instant.

But he still felt uneasy, glaring at her and saying, "If you dare to abandon me and run away, I... I will never call you Fourth Princess again."

Chu Yueli moved her lips, but before she could say anything, Lu Yunfei said again, "I will also persuade the Fourth Prince to take many, many concubines, so that the Fourth Prince will never treat you well again!"
